Glen Scotia 20-Year Single Cask: 2005 Anniversary Release

Glen Scotia Celebrates 20 Years with a Powerful Single Cask Release

Glen Scotia 20 Years Old 2005 marks a significant milestone with a 20-year-old single malt from the historic Campbeltown distillery Glen Scotia. Distilled in 2005 and bottled in 2025, this limited edition anniversary bottling highlights an impressive journey of maturation, showcasing the elegant integration of heavily peated barley smoke into a refined, harmonious profile.

Maturation & Flavor Profile

This single cask whisky matured for two decades in a 1st fill bourbon barrel, retaining its natural cask strength at 59.6% ABV. The long aging period softens the initial potent peat, allowing smoky notes to blend seamlessly with fruity and sweet cask influences. The result is a complex Campbeltown expression balancing smoke, fruit, and spice.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Fine peat smoke, brown sugar, vanilla, marzipan with light fruit notes and grilled peaches reminiscent of campfire fruit
• Palate: A complex interplay of fruity sweetness, spicy oak, and subtle herbal undertones
• Finish: Balanced and lingering with smoky warmth and cask-driven spice
